Mi Han

Chapter 460 Surprising news Liu Ye countered
Most of the Wei generals present here are Cao Hong's former subordinates for many years, and they naturally have no doubts about Cao Hong's decision.

As for other Wei generals, such as Yang Fu, even if he wanted to stop Cao Hong in his heart, he didn't have the chance to say so.

Because after Cao Hong refuted that Wei general, he revealed his plan in full.

After knowing Cao Hong's overall plan, General Wei, who had some doubts in his heart, gradually dissipated.

Cao Hong's plan has indeed minimized the risks in every aspect.

And it was Cao Hong's plan that directly blocked all Yang Fu's persuasive words.

Yang Fu is the guard of the army and has the power to blackmail Cao Hong when the opportunity arises, but this power cannot be used indiscriminately.

In particular, Cao Hong is still a serious relative of Cao Wei.

In addition, in good conscience, there is nothing wrong with Cao Hong's tactical arrangements.

Yang Fu can now use the power to blackmail Cao Hong, but if his blackmail this time really caused Cao Hong to miss the good opportunity to win Yangping Pass?
At that time, not to mention Cao Pi who is far away in Luoyang, I am afraid that Cao Zhen, who loves him so much, will eat him alive.

Yang Fu knew the character of the emperor of the Wei family very well - mean and unkind.

Regardless of the fact that Yang Fu is now the governor of Liangzhou and the guard of the Cao Wei Middle Route Army, it seems that the power is still faintly above Cao Hong.

But these are based on the premise that Yang Fu can bring benefits to Wei.

When this premise is lost and Yang Fu's behavior arouses public anger, then with the character of the Cao family, Yang Fu knows that he will inevitably be used by Cao Pi to make an example of others.

Living in the big dye vat of intrigue, Yang Fu has long since abandoned the innocence of his early official career, and the thought of weighing pros and cons has been deeply rooted in his bones.

But now it was this kind of thinking that made Yang Fu, who had always been upright in the past, become hesitant about whether to use power to blackmail Cao Hong.

Cao Hong, who had been watching him silently, noticed the hesitation on Yang Fu's face.

Seeing that Yang Fu was only hesitant and didn't directly object, Cao Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of Yang Fu's hesitation, Cao Hong neatly arranged a series of combat missions.

These combat deployments had been replayed countless times in Cao Hong's mind before, but now Cao Hong just recounted them from his mind, and the speed was of course extremely fast.

So before Yang Fu waited for the result of the battle between heaven and man in his mind, Cao Hong had already arranged all the combat tasks.

When Cao Hong completed this step, it meant that Yang Fu had no possibility to speak.

It was for the sake of the country that he spoke out before making the arrangements, and the general overturned all his decisions rashly after making the arrangements. It was hard not to make people think that Yang Fu was using public tools for private use.

In the end, Yang Fu could only sigh deeply in his heart.

Yang Fu wasn't sighing because of Wei Jun's uncertain future. After all, he didn't have much doubt about Wu Yi's request to surrender. His hesitation just now was just the result of his inner caution.

Yang Fu was sighing, why did the courier go back and forth so slowly?

If the messenger can bring back Cao Zhen's news in time, then no matter whether it is a battle or a retreat, all the consequences can be shirked on Cao Zhen in the future, this is the most ideal state in Yang Fu's heart.

But what's the use of saying that now when the dust has settled?
Where did Yang Fu's messenger go?

For more than half a month, the messenger had just arrived outside the camp of the Wei army in Xingshi.

It wasn't that the messenger sent by Yang Fu was lazy, but because the Central Route Army and the East Route Army were separated by Yangping Pass, when the two armies exchanged news, the messenger had to cross the long and steep mountain road.

Coupled with the lack of news, the messengers sent by Yang Fu didn't know where Cao Zhen was before they set off.

This kind of inconvenience in objective conditions caused the messenger to find Cao Zhen's location so slowly.

It's just that the messenger was still responsible. After arriving at the Wei Army camp in Xingshi, the messenger immediately identified himself and asked the Wei Army scouts to take him to see Cao Zhen.

After Wei Jun's scouts checked the messenger's identity, they immediately took Yang Fu's messenger to Cao Zhen's tent.

Needless to say, Cao Zhen was in a bad mood recently. When he heard that an envoy from Yang Fu had arrived, his mood became even worse.

If it is a serious official business, it should be Cao Zhen who sent an envoy to come, but now it is Yang Fu's envoy who came to visit him.

Thinking of Yang Fu's status as an army guard, Cao Zhen had a reaction in his heart - it was Yang Fu who had something to impeach Cao Hong.

In the political environment of Cao Wei, it is common for officials to impeach and attack each other.

Not to mention officials with ordinary relationships, even former confidantes and friends may one day become a sharp knife to entrap you.

For example, Cui Yan, who is famous all over the world, died in this respect.

Even friends are like this, let alone Cao Hong and Yang Fu have always been at odds.

Cao Zhen knew that when Yang Fu was appointed as Cao Hong's guard, such a thing would inevitably happen, but he never thought that such a thing would come when he was in his worst mood.

The most exasperating thing is that Yang Fu's messenger has to see him, what if there is really something important?

Cao Zhen received Yang Fu's messenger with a cold face.

The moment Yang Fu Messenger saw Cao Zhen, the tension in his heart finally relaxed.

After more than half a month of trekking, I was finally able to see the general.

Yang Fu's messenger did not delay, he immediately delivered Yang Fu's personal letter to Cao Zhen.

Bored, Cao Zhen unwrapped Yang Fu's letterhead and read it.

But before reading it for a while, Cao Zhen was immediately surprised by the contents of the letter.

Wu Yi, the guard of Yangping Gate, asked to surrender, and Cao Hong accepted it willingly.

After knowing this matter, this matter was like a bolt of lightning piercing the dark sky, unraveling the biggest confusion in Cao Zhen's heart in recent days.

Why did Mi Yang suddenly dispatch Wei Yan's five thousand troops to Yangping Pass.

This is why!
Cao Zhen's skills are by no means inferior to any famous generals in the world. The reason why he was unable to understand this point before was not because he was incompetent, but because he lacked key information in his hands.

Now when the key information fell into his hands, Cao Zhen figured out many things logically.

If it weren't for Wei Yan's five thousand army, Cao Zhen might have been dubious about Wu Yi's request to surrender.

But now Cao Zhen knew that Wu Yi must have surrendered falsely.

even
Thinking of this suffocating point, Cao Zhen couldn't help covering his mouth with his hands and coughing violently.

Autumn is approaching, and the weather is getting colder. Cao Zhen has been working hard on military affairs for the past few days, and he has contracted some wind and cold.

Now under the violent ups and downs of his mood, his condition was instantly affected.

Cao Zhen coughed violently, frightening the guards around him. Many guards ran to Cao Zhen and asked him about his condition in an anxious tone.

In the face of the guard's questioning, Cao Zhen couldn't care about his condition. Now he is like a roaring tiger, with red eyes, he ordered loudly to the guard:
"Quickly summon Liu Shizhong!"

Under Cao Zhen's eager urging, a personal guard immediately ran out of Cao Zhen's tent as quickly as possible.

This sudden change directly frightened Yang Fu's envoy into a stunned place.

He simply came to deliver a letter, how could he have expected that Cao Zhen would undergo such a big change after seeing the contents of this letter.

Just when Yang Fu's messenger was trembling, Cao Zhen looked at him with dangerous eyes.

Cao Zhen's cold eyes full of menace directly scared Yang Fu's messenger to his knees.

Cao Zhen didn't care whether Yang Fu's messenger was afraid or not, he stretched out his trembling fingers and said to Yang Fu's messenger, "Turn back to Wu Street immediately and tell Yang Fu that no matter what, you must stop the Hussar General from sending troops."

"must!"

Cao Zhen's tone was full of sternness.

Cao Zhen was so terrified that Yang Fu's messenger kowtowed, and after kowtowing, he hurriedly ran out of the big tent.

Although he was very tired for more than half a month, Messenger Yang Fu was more afraid of losing his life than being tired.

Not long after Yang Fu's messenger rushed out, Liu Ye hurried to Cao Zhen's tent.

Liu Ye knew that Cao Zhen must have something urgent to call him so urgently, so he didn't delay at all along the way.

When he saw Liu Ye approaching him, Cao Zhen blurted out a sentence that made Liu Ye stop and salute in fright:

"Mi Yang is at Yangping Pass, Mi Yang is at Yangping Pass!"

Cao Zhen's tone was full of remorse.

He regretted why he hadn't seen through this sooner.

After Liu Ye heard Cao Zhen's judgment, he was still in a state of confusion.

Although he guessed that Mi Yang might not be in the ascendant before, but Hanzhong is so big and there are many fortresses, why must Cao Zhen be sure that Mi Yang is at Yangping Pass?

Is it just because of Wei Yan's five thousand troops?
Seeing Liu Ye's confused face, Cao Zhen got up and walked to Liu Ye, and handed Yang Fu's letter to him.

Liu Ye immediately took the letter and read it.

After reading the contents of the letter, a look of horror appeared on Liu Ye's face.

The [-] elite Liangzhou army led by Wei Yan must reach Yangping Pass through untold hardships.

Yangping Gatekeeper Wu Yi suddenly wanted to surrender to Cao Hong.

Since Wei Jun entered Hanzhong, Mi Yang has never really shown himself in front of Wei Jun.

When these three clues are connected together, the truth of a matter is not difficult to come out—Wu Yi was swindling surrender, Mi Yang was at Yangping Pass, and he suddenly ordered Wei Yan to lead [-] Han troops into Yangping Pass in order to attack and be fooled. Cao Hong!
A certainty, but the truth that Cao Zhen and Liu Ye couldn't accept was directly formed in their hearts.

Under this truth, how could Cao Zhen and Liu Ye not be horrified?
It can be said that Mi Yang is the most famous general in the world who loves to use feint-surrender tactics, and he is almost on par with the famous general Zhou Yu back then.

And most importantly, the bloody case of Cao Ren has not dissipated for a long time.

Liu Ye suddenly understood Cao Zhen's purpose in looking for him.

Cao really hoped that he could come up with a plan to resolve this crisis for the Central Route Army.

Liu Ye deserves to be a rare man in the world. He couldn't judge Wei Yan's real purpose before, but he didn't have enough information. Now, after knowing the real intention of the Han army, Liu Ye has a plan to offer:
"Don't worry, General."

"Just now the general has told Yang Liangzhou's envoys to turn back. If General Hussars wants to lead an army to take over Yangping Pass, it will not be able to take place in a short time. Maybe Yang Liangzhou's envoys will have time to return before the Hussars army dispatches troops."

Just now Cao Zhen told him that he hurriedly asked Yang Fu's messenger to turn around to stop Cao Hong.

It's just that when Liu Ye said these words, he didn't have much confidence.

It's been more than half a month since I came here, can I arrive in three days after I go back?
His more purpose in saying these words was to comfort Cao Zhen.

After comforting Cao Zhen, Liu Ye continued to say: "Even if Yang Liangzhou's messengers are late, the hussars have already led the army to Yangping Pass.

However, General Hussars is a man who knows how to fight. In addition, he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands. Even if Mi Thief hurriedly summoned [-] elite soldiers from Wei Yan to enter Yangping Pass, the strength of Yangping Pass must be far inferior to General Hussars.

In this case, there is no way for the thief to wipe out our army. "

"I guess Mi Thief's purpose is to win a big victory over our army to boost morale."

Hearing Liu Ye's analysis, Cao Zhen couldn't help but nodded.

Although he was at odds with Cao Hong, he also knew that Cao Hong was capable.

No matter how stupid Cao Hong was, he would not obediently lead an army of tens of thousands into the ambush circle of the Han army.

And as long as the Han army does not take advantage of the dangerous terrain like the valley to ambush the Wei army, with the number of thousands of Han troops, it is indeed impossible to forcibly eat Cao Hong's tens of thousands of troops.

But this is just a guess, and it's too resigned to others, so it's not safe.

So Cao Zhen continued to look at Liu Ye, hoping he had a better way.

Under Cao Zhen's gaze, Liu Ye's eyes flashed brightly, and he said to Cao Zhen:
"Yangping Pass has always been the vital gate of the Han army. Since the Mi Bandit used this gate to lure the Hussar General into the game, our army can naturally use this vital gate to counter the Mi Bandit.

The general can order Fei Yao's troops outside Seoul to turn westward, and the general should personally raise the army to attack Yangping Pass.

Mi Zei didn't have many troops in his hands, so in order to defeat the Hussar General, he would definitely deploy most of his troops in front of the pass.

At this time, if our army suddenly attacks the back of Yangping Pass, it is possible to take the opportunity to take Yangping Pass.

No matter how dangerous the checkpoint is, if there are no soldiers guarding it, it will be useless. "

When Liu Ye's strategy was revealed, Cao Zhen's eyes lit up.

Yes, in any case, Wei Jun has initially completed the encirclement of Hanzhong.

Under such a battle situation, Yangpingguan is actually facing the enemy from both sides, and this point can't be changed no matter how scheming Mi Yang is.

And Wei Jun can take advantage of this.

This is the reason why soldiers are impermanent.

If the Wei army behind Yangping Pass can take advantage of Mi Yang's unpreparedness and take Yangping Pass in one fell swoop, even if Cao Hong is defeated, so what?
The value of Yangping Pass is immeasurable.

"Even if our army cannot take Yangping Pass smoothly, as long as most of our army appears behind Yangping Pass, Mi Yang will definitely not dare to send too many troops to the front of the pass.

If there are not many troops, what danger will Hussar General be in? "

For the best strategy to succeed, the most important thing is to execute this step.

And the soldiers are the basic carrier for implementing the strategy. If the Wei army can attract most of the Han army to pass, and Mi Yang has the best strategy, it will be just a dead letter!

Liu Ye's strategy made Cao Zhen abandon all the troubles in his heart.

"Order the three armies to set off at full speed towards Yangping Pass at dawn tomorrow!"

"The Han army can march quickly, so can a lonely tiger!"

Who will win this battle is still unknown.
